In a thrilling twist of fate last night, the New York Mets pulled off an incredible comeback in the 9th inning to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers, securing their spot in the playoffs! But that wasn’t the only big news in baseball—this morning, it was officially announced that the Cincinnati Reds have brought in Terry Francona as their new manager! He’s signed on for three years, extending through 2027, with an option for 2028.
With an impressive record of 1,950 wins and two World Series championships to his name, Francona is undoubtedly the most prominent figure to take the reins of the Reds in years. While Dusty Baker had a similar distinguished history when he joined Cincinnati, he didn’t bring along the same championship pedigree.
Francona’s last season in Cleveland wasn’t without its struggles, as the Guardians finished with a disappointing 76-86 record, marking his lowest win total in the last two decades since his time with the Philadelphia Phillies. However, his wealth of experience and winning background brings a wave of optimism for Reds fans. Exciting times ahead in Cincinnati!
